Maintain the Sand Creek Greenway path through Commerce City (2026-07-19)

The Sand Creek Regional Greenway is Commerce City's best green space — and its Commerce City miles get the least maintenance attention on the whole trail. A monthly round of litter clearing, encroaching-weed cutting, and surface hazard reporting keeps the neighborhood's one riverside trail actually usable. Standard: Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership stewardship practice; SDG 11. Proof: Before/after trail photos + issues list Method (Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership stewardship practice; SDG 11.): 1. Walk the assigned trail mile and bag litter, sorting recyclables. 2. Cut back weeds and branches crowding the path line with hand tools. 3. Sweep glass and gravel off the trail surface. 4. Note surface damage, flooding, or lighting issues for the partnership's list. 5. Photograph the maintained mile before and after with date and GPS. Done when: Before/after trail photos + issues list

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
